Abstract
The buccal fat pad (BFP) is a mass of specialized fatty tissue located between the buccinator muscle and the mandibular ramus, separating the masticatory muscles from each other, from zygomatic arch and from the ramus of mandible. Owing to the ease of access and rich blood supply, the BFP is used in the repair of minor to moderate surgical defects in the oral cavity. This paper is an endeavour to highlight some cases of intraoral reconstruction of surgical defects with the pedicled BFP graft.
